QUALITY CONTROL AND SAFETY OF AGRICULTURAL RAW MATERIALS AND PROCESSED PRODUCTS
The review article is dedicated to the analysis of research on the use of alternative plant raw materials in the production of functional food products, with a focus on soybean products. The article discusses the relevance and feasibility of soybean cultivation in Russia, addressing the global issues facing humanity today –namely, ecology and human health. In the context of specialized soybean use, the article examines categories of functional products and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of soy as a raw material for the food industry. Additionally, the article presents an overview of existing research on the impact of soy products on human health. This scientific work aims to provide readers with insights into the potential use of soybean raw materials for creating functional food products and emphasizes the need for further research in this area. The analysis of global and national healthy food markets shows a high consumer interest in dairy products, especially yogurts. These results indicate a promising niche for creating functional products that utilize alternative protein sources, such as soy. Research on the effects of soy on the human body confirms its preventive properties in combating protein deficiency. Furthermore, soy is a valuable source not only of protein but also of lipids, phytoestrogens, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers. Soy processing opens up opportunities for obtaining valuable by-products that can be used in the creation of functional food products. In particular, isoflavones are extracted from soybeans – a group of biologically active substances that positively influence women’s health. Studies indicate that protein levels and textural characteristics affect taste sensations during organoleptic evaluations of food products. However, previous studies have not focused on oat-based yogurts, highlighting the importance of further research in this segment.
Studies of dairy products from goats with different clinical status for arthritis-encephalitis of goats (AEG) were carried out. Samples of unpasteurized goat milk from Nubian breed goats served as the object of the study. The research is aimed at analyzing quantitative data on the indicators “mass fraction of protein, fat, solids, skim milk powder (SMP)”, as well as indicators - “electrical conductivity”, “titratable and active acidity”, “thermal stability”, “viscosity” of milk. Mass fraction of fat in the presented samples ranged from 3.28% to 8.69%. The mass fraction of protein in the samples varied from 2.50% to 4.10%. Data on physical and chemical parameters corresponded to the stated requirements of regulatory documentation, in comparison of goat milk samples were within the error of measurement. Mass fraction of fat in the presented samples ranged from 3.28% to 8.69%. The mass fraction of protein in the samples varied from 2.50% to 4.10%. Data on physical and chemical parameters corresponded to the stated requirements of regulatory documentation, in comparison of goat milk samples were within the error of measurement. Organoleptic and microbiological studies were carried out in comparison of the obtained data with the current regulatory documentation. A decrease in the indicator “viscosity” of milk of goats with AEG (+) status was noted. For milk samples the threshold of thermal stability was at the limit of 40% - 50% alcohol concentration. The indicator Number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative-anaerobic microorganisms for milk from healthy (seronegative) goats is within the norm according to the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union TR TS 033/2013, milk from seropositive goats with and without clinical signs did not meet safety standards. Additional studies should be conducted to detect milk from goats with different clinical status for arthritisencephalitis of goats (AEG).
Expanding the range of functional food products aimed at creating prescription compositions using non-traditional raw materials is currently one of the promising areas in the food industry. The priority area in the prevention of alimentary-dependent diseases is specialized nutrition based on the exclusion of products containing allergens. Allergy to egg white is a food allergy that manifests itself mainly in childhood (in 5-8% of children under 2 years of age), as well as in people of different ages suffering from other types of allergies and atopic diseases. In addition, the growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle has led to increased interest in vegetarianism in the last decade. It is known that the percentage of vegetarians worldwide is about 40%, while in Russia over the past 5 years the number of people who consider themselves vegetarians has doubled and is 7-8%. As a result, it is advisable to search for promising economically advantageous raw materials, the use of which will help reduce the cost of finished products and expand the circle of consumers of specialized products due to vegetarians, people who adhere to dietary restrictions, and people with food allergies. Plant proteins have great potential for use in the food industry, especially in the creation of alternative food products, in the recipes of which animal components are replaced by plant ingredients. One of the ways to prepare dishes and culinary products of a functional nature without using eggs is to introduce legume protein into the recipes, including in the form of decoctions - aquafaba. Aquafaba (from the Latin “aqua” - water, “faba” - beans) is a viscous liquid obtained after boiling beans, peas or other legumes in water, which has emulsifying and foaming properties. This paper presents the development of a technology for the production of mousse products in which egg white is replaced by red and white bean and pea aquafaba. The study determined the organoleptic, physicochemical properties of aquafaba and finished mousse products. It was found that red bean aquafaba is 2.5 times inferior to pea aquafaba and 0.5 times inferior to the control in terms of whipping. At the same time, the appearance and structural characteristics of finished products (consistency, texture) when using red bean aquafaba are superior to both the experimental sample using pea aquafaba and the control sample based on chicken eggs. The nutritional value of mousse desserts based on aquafaba is reduced by 31.5 4 kcal compared to the control and is on average 197.64 kcal against 229.18 kcal in the control.
The article examines the results of a study of the assortment of fresh garden strawberries (strawberries) sold in large supermarkets in Novosibirsk in winter (December), provides the results of the indicators of the appearance and smell of the studied products, as well as the information content of the labeling. The results of the online survey present an analysis of the preferences of strawberry consumers and their interest in increasing the market of “eco-products” in Novosibirsk. It was found that in winter, only imported strawberries are sold in large supermarkets in Novosibirsk, which were presented in packaged and unpackaged form. Not all of the studied strawberry samples met the requirements for appearance and smell. Packaged products had appropriate labeling, unpackaged products were sold in violation of the requirements for communicating to the consumer relevant reliable information about the food product. Garden strawberries with “eco-labeling”, i.e. produced as organic, were not found. An online survey of 200 respondents showed that 48% of respondents would like to see this berry from a domestic producer, the majority of respondents (60%) are also interested in the availability of “eco-strawberries” on the market, and 66% of respondents noted that the availability of environmentally friendly (organic) strawberries in the city of Novosibirsk is very low. The survey data show that there is a demand for organic strawberries in the city of Novosibirsk and the development of the market for this product is promising, especially in the winter. Consumers could have greater confidence in the quality and safety of strawberries of Russian, including local production.
ANIMAL PATHOLOGY, MORPHOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY, PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY
. Increasing the efficiency of industrial poultry farming depends on the level of functional activity of poultry organism, conditions of keeping, balanced feeding, timely and qualitative veterinary and sanitary measures. Stress-factors and other unfavorable environmental influences lead to weakening of resistance of poultry organism and, as a consequence, to decrease of productive potential, level of profitability of egg and meat production. To optimize metabolic processes, improve feed conversion, adaptive capabilities of poultry, feed additives with high biological activity are widely used in production. The effect of selenium-containing feed additive selenium on growth, development and exterior features of broiler chickens was studied. Three groups of day-old chickens were formed: control and two experimental groups. Poultry of the I experimental group together with feed received the drug in the amount of 30 g/t feed, broilers of the II experimental group - 50 g/t. Chickens of the control group were not given the preparation. It was found that the use of seleniumcontaining preparation in the diet of broiler chickens promoted a reliable increase in live weight by the end of growing. Indicators of absolute and average daily weight gain were higher in birds of experimental groups by 165.10-181.30 g and by 8.15-8.98 %. Maximum values of measurements were recorded in birds receiving selenium: body length increased by 1.99-2.25 %, keel length - by 2.14-2.31 %, breast girth - by 8.32-8.72 %, breast width - by 1.21-1.87 %, breast depth - by 11.33-11.62 %, pelvic width in maclocks - by 2.96-3.46 %, tibia and tarsal length - by 1.42-2.23 % and 0.87-1.12 %. The broilers of the experimental groups had an advantage in most of the exterior parameters.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR KEEPING, FEEDING AND ENSURING VETERINARY WELL-BEING IN PRODUCTIVE LIVESTOCK
The effectiveness of the use of Biocink on the productivity of cattle has been shown. The body weight gain of the test calves of the black and motley breed of four months of age after 30 days of the experiment exceeded the growth of the calves of the control group by 64,28%. Body weight was 148,52±5,40 kg (29,13% increase). Hematological analysis showed that the number of red blood cells in both groups was within the physiological norm. At the same time, the number of erythrocytes in the control group after 30 days increased by 31.5%, in the experimental group - by 40.5%. The hemoglobin content in the red blood cell in the calves of the control group was 79.8 ± 1.25 g/L (an increase of 10.4%), in the experimental group - 112.7 ± 3.18 g/L (an increase of 32.3%). The hematocrit value at day 30 of the experiment in the control group was 25.46 ± 0.57%, in the experimental group - 35.25 ± 1.47%. The average red blood counts were at the minimum limits of normal. As a result of organoleptic studies of milk, it was noted that the appearance of the product is characterized by an opaque liquid, which complies with regulatory requirements. The consistency is liquid, homogeneous, without protein flakes and stray lumps of fat. Taste and smell characteristic of milk, without extraneous tastes and smells. The color is white, uniform throughout the mass. A positive trend was observed after the use of Biocink, which resulted in a significant improvement in the indicators confirming the quality and safety of milk and dairy products. The use of Biocink in the diet of experimental groups of animals led to the optimization of metabolic processes, which can be explained by the composition of Biocink, which contains complexes of essential amino acids and organic trace elements.
RATIONAL NATURE MANAGEMENT, ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The article presents the results of studying the biological and antioxidant activity of Calendula officinalis. For this purpose, quantitative determination of some groups of biologically active substances in the pharmaceutical raw material of calendula officinalis flowers produced by JSC Krasnogorskleksredstva (PharmaTsvet) was performed using spectrophotometric and titrimetric methods. The analysis established the content of tannins - 4.10%, ascorbic acid - 19.80 mg%, carotenoids - 1.70 mg%, chlorophyll - 1.10 mg%, flavonoids - 0.86%. To determine the antioxidant activity, aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic (40% ethanol) extracts were used, prepared in the mass ratio “raw material : extractant” - 1 : 30. The study of the criterion of total antioxidant activity was carried out by the voltammetric method using the TA-07 analyzer. During the experiment, the effect of extraction time on the kinetic criterion was assessed. For water decoctions, the antioxidant activity index ranged from 0.830 to 1.650 μmol / l × min, for water-alcohol decoctions – from 4.107 to 4.648 μmol / l × min, which is comparable with the results of measuring the kinetic criterion for ascorbic acid – 1.430 μmol / l × min (GSO, C = 1 mg / ml) and exceeded the value of dihydroquercetin – 1.460 μmol / l × min (GSO, C = 1 mg / ml, 40% ethanol). The obtained results expanded the information on the biological and antioxidant activity of calendula officinalis flowers and can be used in developing recipes for infusions, decoctions and other biologically active additives.
The aim of the work was to study the content of phenolic compounds and flavonoids in the extracts from different morphological parts of Melilotus officinalis. In this study, the conditions of ultrasonic extraction were optimized. An increase in temperature contributes to an increase in the phenolic compound content regardless of the particle size of the plant material. The temperature had a greater effect on the fraction with a particle size of 1.0 to 2.0 mm, since the yield of phenolic compounds at an extraction temperature of 70 ˚C is 2 times higher compared to extraction at 20 ˚C and is 8.4 mg/g. When using the raw material to extractant ratio of 1:30 and 1:50, an increase in the phenol content is observed with an extraction time of up to 20 min. Carrying out extraction with a ratio of 1:100 for longer than 5 minutes is not practical. Considering the optimized parameters, extracts were obtained from various morphological parts of M. officinalis using an ultrasonic bath with ethyl alcohol as an extractant in various ratios with water, and the concentration of phenolic compounds and flavonoids was determined. The content of phenolic compounds is highest in the flowers and leaves of sweet clover and reaches 22.2 mg/g. The highest content of flavonoids was found in the flowers of the plant during extraction with 50% ethyl alcohol and is 1.21 mg/g. In sweet clover seeds, the content of phenols fluctuates from 7.0 to 10.9 mg/g, and with an increase in the proportion of alcohol in the extractant, their concentration decreases. The content of phenols in the stems and roots increases with an increase in the alcohol concentration to 50 % and is 6.3 and 5.3 mg/g, respectively. However, for maximum extraction of phenols from the stems, ethyl alcohol with a concentration of 30 % can be used.
Agriculture is actively adopting digital technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (agrodrones). These technologies enable the automation of crop monitoring, fertilizer application, and other processes. However, legal regulation of their use is lagging behind, creating legal and technical risks. This paper examines the main legal issues related to the use of agrodrones, including licensing and certification. The legal framework for the use of agrodrones in Russia requires significant improvement. Introducing a system of licensing, certification, and safety standards will ensure their effective use, minimize risks, and contribute to the development of digital agriculture. It is also important to consider international trends and adapt successful foreign practices to Russian realities. Strengthening legal oversight and implementing clear regulations will help ensure the safety and efficiency of agrodrones in the agricultural sector, which, in the long term, will lead to significant growth in the technological competitiveness of agriculture. As part of the study’s conclusions on the use of agrodrones, the author highlights the need to develop a unified national standard that takes into account the specialization of different types of agricultural drones, both in terms of piloting and software. Given the challenges faced by industrial enterprises in the agricultural sector, it is proposed to simplify certification procedures for small and medium-sized agrotechnical companies and create a separate registry of agrodrones with a simplified registration process.
The paper presents data on the biochemical composition of seeds and the amino acid composition of leguminous crops, white lupine. It was found that the content of crude protein in white lupin grain is higher than in other leguminous crops. The fiber content averages 13.21%, and this indicator must be taken into account when using white lupine for poultry feed, since the fiber content in poultry feed should not exceed 10-11%. Lupin is inferior to soy in terms of fat content and, accordingly, linoleic acid in seeds, but
surpasses other legumes. The biochemical composition was determined in concentrates obtained by various technological methods, according to the main zootechnical indicators, in addition, the amino acid content and carotene content were evaluated. The content of dry matter, crude fat, calcium and phosphorus increases in granular and extruded ESPC compared to white lupin grain. The crude fat content in the ESPA is significant, and its indicators for granular feed are 11.68%, and for extruded feed 14.21%. The results of the use of the antioxidant Agidol in the composition of manufactured feeds and its effect on its shelf life are described. The CSF values of the extruded feed were within the normal range both in the control and in the experimental samples with Agidol until the end of the shelf life. But if at the beginning of the experiment the lipid oxidation indices in the control and the prototype were almost equal – 5.0 and 4.75 mg / g KOH, then by the end of the fourth month the difference between the control and the variant with an antioxidant was more than 20%. In granular feeds, these indicators were higher. At the beginning of the experiment, in the control of CSF was 10.36 mg/g KOH, and in samples with Agidol – 10.19 mg/g KOH, then by the end of the shelf life 20.49 and 14.43 mg/g KOH respectively. The difference between the images of the feed without an antioxidant and with it was 30%.
REGIONAL AND SECTORAL ECONOMY
The article provides an in-depth review and analysis of statistical data on tourist flow in the region and related economic indicators. A comparative analysis of the tourism industry development in the regions of the SFD: Tyva, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Altai and Khakassia; the dynamics of changes in the indicators is given in the period from 2014 to 2024. The review of available scientific literature on the stated problematic allowed us to identify a number of factors that have a significant impact on the development of the tourism industry in the regions of the Russian Federation. This made it possible to highlight the negative factors and their consequences for the tourism industry of the Republic of Khakassia. It was concluded that tourism with the realization of all factors of its effective functioning is one of the most universal and rapidly developing sectors of the national economy. At the same time, in order for the tourism industry to get a point of growth, its driver should be investments and special attention and support from the regional authorities. The effectiveness of the tourism industry development for the regional budget revenue, creation of additional jobs and socialization of society is shown.
A comprehensive analysis of the current state and prospects of biofuel market development in Russia and Asian countries has been carried out. Against the background of global changes in the energy sector and increasing demand for renewable energy sources, Asian countries are actively developing the biofuel sector, considering it an important component of sustainable economic growth and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Key market trends, growth drivers, and major challenges faced by the biofuels industry are examined. A comparative analysis of the biofuels market in Asian countries including China, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia shows high interest in biofuels as an alternative energy source. In 2022, Asia’s share of global biofuel imports was more than 60%, with Indonesia and Malaysia being the major suppliers, focusing on biodiesel production from palm oil. China, seeking to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports, is actively developing bioethanol production using agricultural waste. China has emerged as one of the leading bioethanol producers in the region in 2023. Japan and South Korea are focusing on biodiesel from cooking oil waste, which highlights these countries’ focus on sustainable production and waste minimization. Factors contributing to the development of the biofuels market are identified: economic and environmental incentives, technological innovations, and infrastructural improvements. It is shown that Russia in the future can become one of the key suppliers of biofuels to Asian countries, expanding its own export structure, which, in turn, will increase the foreign trade revenues of our country. Joint projects aimed at the development of infrastructure, transportation networks and processing facilities contribute to the formation of a single biofuel market between Russia and Asian countries, which facilitates trade and stimulates economic interaction.
The presented article provides a new theoretical and practical analysis of the implementation of the national project of the passport of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” as the main promising factor in ensuring the economic security of Russia. The national project “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” is aimed at modernizing the Russian economy, increasing its competitiveness and improving the quality of life of citizens. It includes, first of all, several federal projects, such as the creation of digital infrastructure, the development of digital education and healthcare, the digitalization of public administration and others. The implementation of this project can have a positive impact on the economic security of Russia. The introduction of new technologies and digital solutions can increase production efficiency, reduce production costs and improve product quality. This can lead to increased exports and improved Russia’s position in the world market. In addition, the development of digital infrastructure can make the economy more resilient to external threats, such as sanctions, isolation and other restrictions. Digital technologies can also improve the quality of life of citizens, the problem of shortage of highly qualified personnel, which in turn can reduce social tension in society and strengthen social stability in the country. And most importantly, to resist sanctions, isolation against our state, thereby eliminating serious problems in solving issues of ensuring Russia’s economic security. As well as in the development of the military-industrial complex, and the earliest possible successful, victorious completion of the special military operation in Ukraine. The passport of the national program was developed by the Ministry of Communications of Russia in pursuance of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2018 No. 204 “On national goals and strategic objectives for the development of the Russian Federation until 2024” and includes six federal projects: “Regulatory regulation of the digital environment”, “Information infrastructure”, “Personnel for the digital economy”, “Information security”, “Digital technologies” and “Digital public administration”. [1, p. 367]. The implementation period of this national program: from October 2018 to 2024 (inclusive). A unique opportunity is provided to analyze what has been done in almost six years, and what are the further tasks and prospects of this national project.
